Dr. Gordon concluded by saying that the opposite conviction was now proved by the fact that so many undergraduates were now serving in His Majesty's Forces.
"Nothing has struck me more in these years of international terror than the instinctive brother-i hood of scholarship and the sen tfal friendship at every true uni- versity with each other.
